C++ has a maybe type. It's called std::optional.

Here is my experimental maybe type for C: https://godbolt.org/z/YxnsY7Ted

Six divided by minus one is a "Division by zero" now? Where I come from that's minus six.

Good luck to WG14 (or maybe a faction within it?) as they seem to have decided to go make their own C++ competitor now, it's a weird time to do that, but everybody needs a hobby.

Yeah, I was about to add the test for INT_MIN / -1 but got distracted, but also not really the point of the example anyway.

I hope you realize that this is example does not need any complex C++ features.
